I'm trying to select workorders using find_by_sql. The where portion of the sql needs to test against some ruby code:
I tried this:
<% Workorder.find_by_sql("SELECT * FROM workorders w JOIN empgroups e USING (workgroup_id) WHERE e.employee_id = ?, <%= current_user.employee.id %>").each do |workorder| %>
But, it doesn't seem to pre-process the <%= current_user.employee.id %>
Thanks for the help!
There is a little mistake in your syntax.
find_by_sql and where expects an array when you are using ? notation for values.
Also, there is no need to interpolate current_user.employee.id
Replace your query with :
<% Workorder.find_by_sql(["SELECT * FROM workorders w JOIN empgroups e USING (workgroup_id) WHERE e.employee_id = ?", current_user.employee.id]).each do |workorder| %>
First of all, there is much better to place your selecting code to the controller side, like this:
def your_controller_method
@workorders = Workorder.find_by_sql('SELECT * FROM workorders w JOIN empgroups e USING (workgroup_id) WHERE e.employee_id = ?', current_user.employee.id)
end
And then you can use it in the view:
<% @workorders.each do |workorder| %>
<% end %>
